The anime series Megaton Musashi returned with a second season this fall. The first episode was released on October 7th. Four episodes of the new seasons have been released as of yet, and viewers and critics have mixed reviews regarding the series.
The series had a rather underwhelming first season, but there seems to have a good amount of fans who loved the first season, which made the studio renew the series that first premiered in the fall of 2021. The fans are hooked on the story revealed so far and are excited to watch the fifth episode titled Collapse, which is just a few days away.
Megaton Musashi is based on the game of the same name, which was developed by Level-5. The same production house is responsible for the anime adaptation, too, with collaborations with Tokyo MX and OLM studios. Megaton Musashi is directed by Akihiro Hino, who was associated previously with projects like Inazuma Eleven and Yo-Kai Watch.
With the new episode on its way, here’s what we know about the anime so far and the official release date, and where to watch the show with an exclusive preview of the previous episode.

Megaton Musashi Season 2 Episode 4 Recap
Ixia has arrived in Solon, where its team is now witnessing the destruction of life and how the locals struggle to survive. Arsham must think about her mother being expelled from Sidr and the accidental meeting to overthrow Grieffas and his military takeover while Yamato and the others investigate the area.
As Victor assumes charge, the Dractors’ assault on Solon will be challenging because their top objective is keeping Solon safe rather than invading with all of their might. The Musashi acquire new weapons and allies after each battle, but they are pressed for time. They go closer to destruction with each stride.
Megaton Musashi Plot
The anime, as well as the game, is set in the distant future when over 90 percent of humanity has perished after an invasion. The remaining humans live in a shelter where their lives are monitored, and memories of the invasion are erased. Three youngsters named Yamato Ichidaiji, Ryugo Hijikata, and Teru Asami are assigned by the Oblivion Bay, the operational headquarters of the rogues, to pilot the rogue called Musashi. Rouges are giant robot-like figures that require three pilots to function. They are used by humans to fight against the dractors, the invaders.
The anime explores the world introduced to us by the game and the various backstories and subplots that aren’t possible to experience from the game alone. The personalities of the characters and their relationships with each other are represented better in the anime. Through the anime, we get an insight into the personalities of the leading protagonists. We realize Yamato’s carefree hot-headed nature, Ryugo’s obnoxiousness and physical strength, and Teru’s narcissism and intelligence.
The first season of the series is considered underwhelming in many aspects. The overall theme of the anime is generic at best, and the animation of the anime isn’t much noteworthy. The action set pieces and sequences are well written, but the execution lacks effort. Fans and critics both are hoping to see changes in the new season as the storyline and premise of the anime can be made more interesting and remarkable with a little more effort.
